Consider the simple pipe network below. Pipe AB and CF are both 500m long with diameters of 0.8m and friction factors of 0.015. Branch 1 is 200m long, 0.5m in diameter with a friction factor of 0.02. Branch 2 is 300m long, 0.6m in diameter with a friction factor of 0.012. The design discharge through pipe AB is 3m 3 /s. Determine the following: a) the equivalent pipe length, Leq, of a single equivalent pipe with a diameter of 1m and friction factor of 0.02, that represents the entire pipe network from A to F, b) determine the total head loss from A to F. Ignore minor losses. (Hint: need to use method of equivalent pipes for both series and parallel)
